DAILY SNACK
He was crying so hard.
His Dad had picked him up off the concrete,
And held him tight.
The tears ran down his cheeks and kept right on going.
I took him in my arms and we walked toward the lake.
We stood there and looked out.
And I talked.
“See that goose way out by itself? Silly goose.”
“Look, C, you can’t see the other side of this lake, can you?”
“On the other side is the United States. That’s another country.”
And finally, the crying stopped and he will be alright.
That goose egg, though,
Will be hanging around for another couple days.
